9 MONTHS SMOKE FREE today for me!!!.....that's the good news.....the bad news is that I saw my surgeon and do have to have surgery on Feb. 18th. torn rotator cuff repair, sub acromial decompression, and bicep tendon tear repair. Shoulder surgery number 5 in 5 years....first one on the left shoulder. good news #2....I have pain pills again and 3 and a half weeks to get this house organized and early spring cleaned. Ok, back to catching up!

Congrats, roonies! And ugh on the surgery - but it's better than staying in pain. Wish I had something more optimistic to add to that!


Do you guys have any suggestion of tobacco flavor? I tried 555 and really hated it.
I want something smell like "real cigarette"

Welcome to the forum, piggypinggy. There really isn't juice out there that smells like a "real cigarette". You are more likely to find juice that smells like good pipe tobacco, or like tobaccos that aren't lit.

How old is your 555? MBV tobaccos take a good month or two to age before they are good.

555 isn't one of my favorites, but there are a lot of folks here who love it.
I'd go for Coumarin Pipe, East Coast Tobacco, USA Tobacco, and Vanilla Tobacco at the moment. (At least until I can test my Ankara and see how it's doing.)



Morning, MBV peeps!

Stealthing Vanilla Tobacco today and working on my first cup of java. Hope everyone has a lovely day!

The only thing I have of all those mentioned is Banana's Gone NUts and French Vanilla and they are both too new. Kind of surprised that more of you MBV peeps aren't fans of JR as I was one of my first MBV that was a home run for (for me)
Guess I assumed it was well liked

Don't assume that just because a flavor isn't talked about much, that we don't care for the flavor. A lot depends on whether a given flavor has made it into enough of our orders for us to *know* what it tastes like! Jamaican Rum is one of those for me. I don't drink and never did, to speak of, so the idea of vaping a booze flavor strikes me, a non-drinker, as odd. So, I'll wait till enough other folks happen to try it and explain to me what it tastes like, and if that sounds interesting, I might toss it in the cart someday. Till then though, there's just too many other things I want to try. :)

And I smoke mtbaker juice with 2.8ohms and 11~13 watt, is it weird LOL?
I see most people smoke with 6~8 watt :blush:

Hi and welcome, piggy! Whatever works for you is what works for you. Your equipment can make a difference, too. I prefer 3.0 ohm coils in my tanks and I keep them at about 5-6 watts. On my (new) rebuildable atomizer, I can run a 1.8 ohm coil and easily go up to 8 or 8.5 watts.

Different juices like different amounts of heat, and so do different toppers (tank, cartomizer, atomizer, rebuildable, whatever). As long as your juice tastes good to you, that's what matters.

And guys, sorry for my bad English... I am not English speaker but I'll try my best :) I hope u guys can understand my English ^_^

Your English is fine. Most of us here would have a hard time making ourselves understood in our second language... and not all of us have one of those. :)

KELLI.....SEAN......come back.....I miss you guys!!!! I think I've actually seen more of Sean, but Kelli, you're needed here!! :wub: ya guys!!!
Ok, I'm going to try to close my eyes and see what happens. Later taters!

Best of luck on the sleep front, Roonies!

Sean, i don't even see you lurking. are you OK?

Miss Kelli, you are loved by all, and missed when you are away. your zoo members aren't the only ones that need you, we need you as well. be strong and be well. View attachment 295529

I am. :) As is typical for my body, as soon as my lungs settled down, my shoulders went out, and as soon as my good shoulder calmed down a little, I discovered a pressure sore. All is being handled, to the extent that there's anything anyone *can* do, but it's meant that for the moment, lack of sleep is *not* an issue. :)

And yes - we love you, Kelli!

Time moves differently for everyone. Unfortunately for us, your day won't last long enough and mine will seem never ending. :D If only the opposite were true, we'd be set.

It does look like I will have 3 vapemail packages to come home to though. yay!

Some guys have invented a watch that fixes that "time flies when you're having fun/crawls when you're not" phenomenon. It's here.

Hold the presses... are there tanks available for things like the MVP2????

Inquiring minds that love tanks want to know... and might find them to be the tipping point from all that enabling y'all have been doing...

Update: ok - a bit of quick research shows that my definition of tank is far narrower than the actual definition. I'm unconfused now.

They come with iClears, I use my mini PT and PT 2's on them. I've seen pictures of people using Kayfun's with them as well, so, yeah. :p

Ah, but you see, I look at the iClear, I see all the wick dangling in there, and that doesn't say tank to me - it says thing with octopus of wicking that I'll have to muck with.

However, I am now investigating the PT2 mini, which looks like much less hassle.

I am so doomed - I think I'm going to be shopping soon.

Edit: Morning, Amiaji!

Mine is going much better than yesterday, other than the lack of sleep. Whatever front was moving through seems to have passed & I'm feeling much better.

Tobaccos are a tough one. I haven't found many of the synthetics that really do it for me. There are some great NETs out there though, but there's a lot of really bad ones too. I've been sitting on a bottle of Ankara too. I tried dripping it a week or 2 ago & it wasn't ready, so I haven't bothered with it since. It does smell nice though. Haven't tried the east coast or USA yet. I might have to throw those on my next order.

I definitely prefer bottom coil tanks to any other kind. The less messing with wicks, the better... which means I really like the PT2 minis and the Aros. I like the ChiKrack even better, though. Pull out the cotton, dryburn the coil, stick some more cotton in there. I also haven't had any of the leaking issues some have reported, even when I fell asleep with it in my hand and woke up with it upside down on my chest.... not a drop spilled.

I still wouldn't take it out and about, though... the PT2/PT2 minis/Aros are more durable.

Wondering if anyone knows the answer to this question
Why would one buy 236 ML (8 oz) for $39.99
If one could buy 16oz for $39.99
AM I missing something? Please tell me they are the same and my $39.99 16 oz is not missing something

The 16oz comes from the wholesale site. The shipping times and customer service isn't the same as on the retail site. Not that it's bad, just slower. If you have a flavor you would want to get that much of and don't mind waiting a week or so to get then go for it.

On the wholesale site, you have to pay actual shipping. On the retail site, you can order a 236ml bottle plus a 50ml of something else, get free shipping, and get a free sample. So the wholesale site is cheaper overall if you really really like a certain flavor, but the retail site makes more sense if you want to order multiple flavors at one time.

re: No telling what the juice will be like when you finish it

Love to hear some suggestions on how to store it and how long it might be good for.
My thoughts when ordering it were partly based on wanting to stock up before regulations hit. Also I figured it could not taste any worse than the millionth MArlboro I was still lighting up 20 something times a day. I see it as a vehicle to get nicotine in my body. Simple as that. It is the first flavor I have felt like I could vape forever with a few other things thrown in.


*note to self: check to see if you are downloading anything before restarting laptop* :facepalm:

my mom always told me if i had a brain, i'd be dangerous! :glare:

morning Sean, Ozzie and everybody else.

re: 16oz of juice. if it isn't an adv, no telling what the juice will be like by the time you finish it.
